Overview

Aim/objectives

The DNA microarray technology plays a significant role in molecular biology, systems biology and pharmaceutical research. The aim of this course is to give students a general knowledge of methods for microarray analysis as well as the ability to apply computerized analyses on gene expression data. Furthermore, it is a goal that the students learn to formulate interesting problems/questions that can be addressed by gene expressions analysis

Content

The technology behind GeneChips and cDNA arrays; normalization of data before comparison between experiments; statistical significance of changes in expression; reduction and visualization of large data matrices: PCA and clustering; reverse engineering of regulatory networks; promoter analysis and functional analysis; integration of data; case stories. Finally a poster presentation based on a problem formulated in cooperation with the teachers.

Textbook

Remarks

The evaluated exercises/projects will be done in groups and the work done by each student must be identified, so that each student can receive and individual grade.
